For this couple, an important aspect of the project is to provide a universally accessible and high-quality rental cabin. Because renting a rural villa can be complicated for people with limited mobility or disabilities. Therefore, all channels, equipment, and furniture are designed to be accessible and safe for as many people as possible.
对于这对夫妇来说,该项目的一个重要方面是希望提供一幢普遍可达的、质量上乘的出租小屋。因为对于行动不便或残疾的人来说,租用乡村别墅可能会很复杂。因此,所有的通道、设备和家具都被设计成尽可能多的人能够通行且安全。

The couple themselves named the project "Selenite" in honor of this crystalline mineral, also known as "Moonstone," which is believed to have soothing properties. Like a holy land in the forest, it was decided in the early stages of the project to adopt a formal pure white appearance to enhance the concept of selenium feldspar and its serene quality. Due to symbolic significance and existing terrain conditions, the project adopts a square plan. This form not only makes the project more compact and allows for the rational allocation of major planning requirements, but also strengthens the concept of balance and harmony, which is an inherent characteristic of the project identity.
这对夫妇自己将该项目命名为“硒长石”,以纪念这种也被称为“月光石”的晶体矿物,它被认为具有舒缓的特性。就像森林中的一片圣地,项目初期就决定采用正式的纯白色外观,以强化硒长石及其宁静品质的理念。无出于象征意义以及现有的地形条件,项目采用了方形平面。这种形式一方面使项目更加紧凑,能够合理分配主要的规划需求,同时强化了平衡与和谐的理念,这是项目身份的内在特征。

Therefore, this house appears as a 36 foot by 36 foot white cube with a sloping roof, as if two equal crystals were inverted from the central axis. Leaving the cabin, two prisms can be seen protruding from the surrounding bedrock. Each roof has a square skylight at its peak, emphasizing the concept of balance and symmetry. The living room and bathroom are two rooms with skylights, so the ceiling is higher, while the rest of the attic is cleverly used to store various mechanical equipment serving other facilities for users, enhancing their accommodation experience. Travelers can also use a complete smart home system that can control overall lighting synchronized with circadian rhythms and allow them to initiate guided meditation courses in any room.
因此,这幢房子呈现为一个 36 英尺乘 36 英尺的白色立方体,屋顶倾斜,仿佛两个相等的晶体从中轴线倒置而成。离开小屋可以看到两个棱镜从周围的基岩中凸显出来。每个屋顶的峰顶都开了一个方形天窗,强调了平衡与对称的理念。客厅和浴室是带有天窗的两个房间,因此天花板更高,而阁楼的其他部分则被巧妙地用来存放服务于用户的其他设施的多种机械设备,以增强他们的住宿体验。旅行者还可以使用完整的智能家居系统,该系统可以控制与昼夜节律同步的整体照明,并允许他们在任何房间启动引导式冥想课程。

This couple is enthusiastic about using healthy and durable local materials, for example, they chose hemp wool as the wall insulation material. The Faraday cage wrapped around the house can also block electromagnetic waves and protect people who are sensitive to electricity. Indoor decoration materials do not contain volatile organic compounds (VOCs), while cabinet elements prioritize the use of wood. The kitchen designed by Ø hauteur d'Homme studio takes into account comfort, adaptability, and inclusivity in terms of ergonomics.
这对夫妇热衷于使用健康且耐用的当地材料,例如,他们选择了麻羊毛作为墙壁保温材料。包裹着房子的法拉第笼还可以阻挡电磁波,保护对电敏感的人。室内装饰材料均不含挥发性有机化合物(VOC),而橱柜元素则优先使用木材。由 À hauteur d'Homme 工作室设计的厨房,在人体工程学上考虑了舒适性、适应性和包容性。

项目外部围护结构简洁而单色,由木板、大块玻璃窗和金属屋顶组成,而所有机械设备都被巧妙地漆成白色,以强化项目的简洁外观。
